Faith Brings Peace and Joy
Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;
And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us:
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Christ's Sacrifice for the Ungodly
for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.
for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.
When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;
Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.
but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.
And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.
For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.
For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
And not only [that], but [we are] making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.
So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Adam and Christ Contrasted
When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
(for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;
Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break.
but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is [the] figure of him to come.
Still, everyone died — from the time of Adam to the time of Moses — even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come.
But [shall] not the act of favour [be] as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which [is] by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.
But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.
And [shall] not as by one that has sinned [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification.
And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins.
For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)
For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.
Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.
For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.
Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,
God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.
in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
